Of Blogging & Blogs, Filipino Bloggers in Dubai Growing in Numbers

We are not are guided by policies but by ethics. We may take sides but we try to remain impartial.

We are fueled by passion.

We have no diplomas, but we write with integrity.

We tell stories from genuine experiences. We verify our words before the world see.

We are not journos, but we are relevant.

We own what we write.

Happy world bloggers day!

...and so it is with great pleasure to introduce more Filipino expat bloggers in Dubai - because I often get asked, "Marami bang Filipino bloggers dito sa Dubai? / Are there many Filipino bloggers in Dubai" Yes, and we are growing.

Here's a RANDOM list of those I've already met offline and online. Please do check them out - they're really good in their particular subject areas.

For people who still mistake us for journalists, we are not. There are differences, but we are cousins.

It takes honorable time
and effort to become a journalist. Their profession is backed by profound
training and experience. They are capable of building a strong
reputation not only for themselves but also for the organization they
work with.

We respect journos.

A blog can be created overnight, but it takes integrity more than time and effort to become an AUTHORITY blogger.

Blogging can be a stepping stone into journalism.

The question about who the readers trust more, journalists or
bloggers, is inevitable. Both content creators can be trusted, or not. Because readers
are more skeptical these days, whether you're a journalist or a blogger, trust is earned
by the quality and relevance of content you post.
